M. WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. CRA-R-23, the parties wish to enter into this Grant
Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions relating to the use of the Grant;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties contained herein and other
good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficient of which is hereby acknowledged, the SEOPW CRA and
Grantee agree as follows:
1. RECITALS. The Recitals to this Agreement are true and correct and are incorporated herein by
referenced and made a part hereof.
2. GRANT. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and as incorporated in the SCOPE
OF WORK AND BUDGET, herein attached as Exhibit `B"; and Grantee's compliance with all its obligations
hereunder, the SEOPW CRA hereby agrees to make available to the Grantee the Grant to be used for the purpose
and disbursed in the manner hereinafter provided.
3. USE OF GRANT. The Grant shall be used to underwrite costs associated with the continued
operation and programming of the Project, in accordance with Exhibit `B," attached hereto and incorporated herein.
4. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date written above and shall
terminate upon the earlier of full disbursement of One Hundred Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($100,000.00) or

representations, warranties and certifications; to exercise entitlement to remedies, limitation of liability,
indemnification, and recovery of fees and costs.

SEOPW CRA shall make available to Grantee up to Two Hundred Four Thousand Three Hundred Seventy -Six
Dollars and Zero Cents ($204,376.00). In no event shall payments to Grantee under this Agreement exceed Two
Hundred Four Thousand Three Hundred Seventy -Six Dollars and Zero Cents ($204,376.00). Payments shall be
made to the Grantee or directly to vendors on behalf of Grantee, only after receipt and approval of requests for
disbursements.

requests for the expenditure of Grant funds for pre -approval by the SEOPW CRA. Failure to submit said requests

photographs, and any other materials evidencing the expense incurred. The Grantee agrees that all invoices or
receipts reflecting the expenses incurred in connection to the Project shall be in the name of the Grantee, and not

Grant is subject to specific reporting, record keeping, administrative and contracting guidelines and other

accordance with all applicable federal, state and local codes, laws, rules and regulations.

resulting from or in connection with: (i) the performance or non-performance of the services, supplies, materials
and equipment contemplated by this Agreement or the Project, including risk of loss of artwork on display for the

of additional liability insurance coverage or coverage which is different in kind, the SEOPW CRA reserves the
right to require the provision by Grantee of an amount of coverage different from the amounts or kind previously
required and shall afford written notice of such change in requirements thirty (30) days prior to the date on which
